comparing arrays to arrays javascript code example

Example 1: how to compare two arrays javascript

function arraysAreIdentical(arr1, arr2){
    if (arr1.length !== arr2.length) return false;
    for (var i = 0, len = arr1.length; i < len; i++){
        if (arr1[i] !== arr2[i]){
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true; 
}

Example 2: compare arrays javascript

// For regular 1D array
const array1 = [1,2,3,4]
const array2 = [1,2,3,4]

array1.join() === array2.join()
// '1,2,3,4' === '1,2,3,4'

// For anything more complex
const array3 = [1,2,3,[1,2,3]]
const array4 = [1,2,3,[1,2,3]]

JSON.stringify(array3) === JSON.stringify(array4)
